“Doctor, dammit. I paid extra for all six letters.” Kane said and then stood up. “You go home. I’ll get the dog. Because the odds of you using that walk as an excuse to not go back to our quarters are pretty damn high.” and he walked around the desk and lightly smacked her somewhere entirely inappropriate for the workplace and said “Go on. Shoo. Out.” and he started herding her to the door.
Kane
Alexis did a little hop and looked at him wide eyed. All the while being pushed out the door. “Okay, okay I am vacating your office, doctor.” She might have been laughing a little. Once outside the door and outside the labs she looked back at him, “What makes you think I won’t get distracted on my way home all by my lonesome?” Why was she teasing him?!
Bonner
“Because…” Kane said as he walked her to the door and then locked the lab to all non-department personnel, “… I have a PaDD with your name on it just lying on the bed. And if you don’t go there in the next five minutes, it will delete its contents and then you’ll never know what I wrote on it.” He kissed her cheek and turned and walked away, waving behind him. “See you in a few!”
Kane
Alexis lost a whole 30 seconds just staring after him with a bemused look on her face. Then she suddenly turned and hurried to the nearest lift in the opposite direction. The man drove her to distraction. “Deck 3.” Alexis got lucky and the lift kept moving till it got to deck 3. People we’re used to her walking around totally distracted by what ever problems she was working on and so no one stopped to speak to her. Except when she had to back track because ops was replacing a panel. She entered their quarters, forgoing any normal routines for claiming the PaDD on the bed. She snatched it up with a goofy grin, silencing the beeping with seconds to spare.
Bonner
The PaDD was almost done counting down when she opened it. On the screen were the words “Food, two episodes of Lucy, and then bed. We are both worn out with all of this, and until we get it all settled we need to be rested and focused. Now open the door.” and there was a chime at the door.
Kane
Alexis reached up to let her hair down while she read, only to remember at the last moment she’d done that in his office…and scattered the styluses on the floor…they drove him crazy. Of well, she would just claim she was helping out the clutter and chaos back. That thought was quite satisfying. After reading, it was all familiar and rather easy to speak into the ear piece so he would hear her. “Bossy. Can’t I have a shower first?”
But the chime Rand and she moved into the living area putting the PaDD with the endless stack on the desk and hit the control to open the door.
Bonner
It was Kane and Frigga… and Kane was carrying a larve, flat,square box that smelled amazing. “Pizza. Lucy. Bed. Let’s do this!” and he moved past her and to the couch, setting the pizza on the table le and kicking off his shoes.
Kane
The pizza made her mouth water. She grabbed drinks and napkins from the replicator. Frigga sniffed and wagged her tail pitifully looking at Kane and the pizza box. “Oh no. You’re too spoiled already. No pizza.” She went back over to the replicator, slipping out of her boots and jacket (that got tossed over the back of a chair) and returned with a bowl. One of those rice, meat, broth concoctions that Solomon was always giving Frigga. Alexis set the bowl on the floor and flipped open the pizza box. She lifted a slice out of the box, the melted cheese pulling and stretching until it finally broke. She gathered up the strands and plopped them in a heap on top of her slice, and then took a bite off the end. Pizza and television. It was so incrediblynormal it was shocking.
